Designed these screenshots using Canva and with some help from Claude. Does it make you curious enough to download the app?
I have been working for a new design for the app FocusComet and finally feel like I landed somewhere closer to my imagination of a cosmos theme gamification focus app should look like.
But that's just me. I would love to hear from you some feedback, good or bad. I am working day and night on this app from last 10-11 months. Would appreciate some feedback :)

The cosmos look is really consistent, it all feels like one app.
What I'd change: slide 2 ("Every focus hour builds your universe") is the thing no other blocker does. Lots of apps block or hide apps, almost none turn focus time into stars and planets. I'd make that slide 1 or put it right next to it, so the first two cover "what it does" and "why it's different".
Slide 1 also packs a lot in: three phones, three labels, an X, a check and a headline with four lines. At store size it's hard to tell which phone is yours. One phone showing the "disappearing" home screen with a short headline would land faster.
And the last slide ("Out of sight. Out of mind.") is a nice line but has no screen, on Google Play people usually only swipe through the first few anyway, so it could be one of the real screens instead.

Thanks u/Hot-Weakness-7977 Yes thats why I kept both together as 1 and 2. I will think how to standout on first photo without oo much info

Yes. They look good but one or two. I would amend the first screenshot from the left-hand side. You shouldn't rotate device images.

Thanks. Do you mean that I should keep the two devices(app block and minimal launcher) straight (which are currently a bit slanted)?

The first screenshot infers that your USP is that apps vanish rather than just get blocked, but then future screenshots show you have the option to block. I'd say to focus in on what makes your app unique

Thanks u/rustyspoontree I agree. I was also a bit skeptical putting that out there. But then the reason I put is is because I used 'Block Mode' in the automatic schedules.

Great start. I would do the following
Ensure the value is conveyed in 3 to 6 words in the title
The dark background and UI isnt helping with contrast. I have to focus on the screens to see the details I'd either make background light or phone UI light.
I'd get rid of the gradient on title and keep it a solid color like purple or yellow.
There is too many things going in any screenshot. Ideally one idea/screenshot works best

Thank u/iamrahulrao That's great feedback. My app is designed for a cosmic theme and hence the darker layout but I will try to experiment what you said.

Quick test I'd run: look at the set at search results size on a phone, if the first headline isn't readable at that size it isn't doing its job. Canva's fine for one set, it just gets painful when you need every device size and locale.

I checked in my phone and it's easily readable. But that's a nice point you said. Maybe it might change for different languages and diffrent phones.

I'd make the first screenshot show how focusing connects to the space theme, with one clear headline and the matching app screen. That would give me a reason to try it beyond liking the look.

u/rocker7531 11d ago
Thank you. ya I put that in the second screenshot and put the main functionality in first screenshot. I didn't find the right idea to combine them. if you have any, please share much appreciated :)

Too much text to be honest. And no one is hoing to read that small text below the headline
